Yesterday, March 18, was my half-birthday. Today, March 19, I am officially closer to 30 than otherwise. Yikes. Honestly, I’m not in the midst of a quarter-life crisis and have no real qualms about hitting the big 3-0 (at this point in time).

It’s okay
There are several other bloggers I follow whose husbands are also currently deployed. I think we all try to put on a brave face and see the silver lining in these situations. But some days just suck. You’re tired, lonely, in a bad mood, or just need to see the face of the one you love. And I’ve realized that’s okay. It’s okay to be sad. It’s okay to listen… View Post »

That time I lost my phone… and found it in my purse
You ever have one of those weeks that no matter what you do, crazy stuff still happens? This is one of those weeks for me. Last night, we were leaving work at 12:15 am. Not too bad considering, and I wasn’t even too tired. I recall grabbing my phone from my purse before we clocked out and did our bag checks. I set it on the counter to then find… View Post »
